Bit of skill about him too. Not a 'wonderkid' as such, but quite underrated.
Maxi Rodriguez will make an appearance I suspect but I hear A Madrid got rid as he's had a poor season anyway.
I rate him at the same level as Kranjcar. His goals record for Espanyol was phenomenal, scoring about 1 in 2 in 2004/5 in the league. He did virtually the same for Atleti the season after.Well, I haven't actually seen him play this season, but the guy has scored 7 goals this season. That's an impressive tally for a midfielder/winger.
Maybe it is because he would be a decent kid coming through as a 4th choice with the odd cup game and plenty of time to develop, but Liverpool have had to rely on him as first choice back up to Torres. Liverpool's depth is poor in a lot of positions and none is more dramatic then when Torres is missing.
I don't think N'Gog is that bad at all, but I know who I'd rather we were facing.
You know what would make the win sweeter. The fact that we have at least 3 of our first team out as well! Shows our depth v theirs! But yes lets not run before we can walk we need to do the stuff v hull first! And liverpool away still will be tough game mark my wordsWith their best two/three players out we need to take advantage, COYS don't let us down.

what's the weather like in Liverpool? Any sign of snow and they'll be trying to get us postponed again
I haven't seen him either but I listened to the Guardians Football weekly podcast with Sean Ingle Barry Glenndenning & Rob Smyth. One of them said Maxi was good but disruptive to the team, although he'd scored a few had generally been poor. I hope he doesn't end up playing like Ricky Villa, well against us anyway.
Lucas now suspended for our match.
